Chapter 215
The full moon was still some distance away, and they sat on deck chairs in the corridor, where they could see a sky full of stars when they looked up.
Xie Juanhan scooped a spoonful of ice cream with a small gold spoon and put it in his mouth. The distinct and layered ice cream melted on his tongue.
The flavors are sour, sweet, fragrant, and milky... with a base of honey and alcohol at the very end.
Xie Juanhan squinted his eyes and carefully sensed it.
Because of the mead, he swallowed it in one gulp and felt the fatigue and heat of the day quickly dissipate, leaving him with a blissful, floating feeling.
Looking up at the vast starry sky brings even more joy.
Xie Juanhan took two bites and glanced at it again.
Suddenly, a strange thought arose in his mind.
He shoved the ice cream bowl he was holding into Telingewei's arms and ran towards the study.
Caught off guard, Telingewei was suddenly shoved into his arms. "A-Han?!"
The furry creatures were all startled and looked up. "Awooo?"
Xie Juanhan rushed into the study, found the scroll they had obtained at the Peiaonuoer Hunting Grounds, and flipped it directly to the back to look at the star chart.
They have been studying these scrolls recently, but so far Xie Juanhan can only recognize a few characters.
However, he was extremely familiar with star charts.
While looking at the stars, he immediately recognized the star chart recorded on the back of the scroll in the starry sky.
"A-Han!" Telingewei slammed the ice cream down on the floor and rushed into the study.
He happened to see Xie Juanhan scattering drafts all over the floor like a kitten tearing apart papers.
Xie Juanhan looked up at Telingewei from among the scattered drafts, his eyes shining brighter than the stars. "I think I know the location of our star in the sky!"
He spoke quickly and in a roundabout way. Telingewei: "What?"
Xie Juanhan rushed forward, jumped onto him, straddled his waist, placed his hands on his shoulders, and brought his eyes close to his. "I mean, I roughly know the coordinates of our planet in space."
After Xie Juanhan finished speaking, he kissed Telingewei hard. "I think I know how to get home now!"
Telingewei reached out and lightly supported his waist. "Wait! You know the location of this star, but do you know the location of the planet where your home is?"
"Sure!" Xie Juanhan without hesitation. "In our first year of school, the teacher taught us where home is."
Many years ago, when Xie Juanhan was still a little White Dragon, they had just started school and were taught by their teacher the location of their home, how to contact their home, and how to get home if they got lost, among other things.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, he has grown into a young dragon, yet he still relies on the knowledge he gained in the first phase of school.
Xie Juanhan's eyes were bright and dazzling, because they were filled with tears.
He said, "How could I not know where my home is?"
The furry creatures didn't understand what was happening. They stopped eating their ice cream and all crowded at the door, staring at Xie Juanhan with worried eyes.
Xie Juanhan answered Telingewei as he ran out, wanting to see the starry sky above.
As he passed by the furry creatures, he was overjoyed and pulled Nibote over, giving Nibote a big kiss on the furry forehead.
Before Nibote could react, Xie Juanhan bent down and scooped up Haxi and Habu, giving each of them a kiss.
Xie Juanhan scooped up all the furry creatures and kissed them one by one.
In the end, even the composed Moli got a big kiss from him.
After the kiss, Xie Juanhan ran outside and looked up at the starry sky.
Telingewei was a step too slow and was trapped in the study by the furry creatures.
The furry creatures were still a bit dazed after being Xie Juanhan for the first time.
Nibote, in particular, felt like he was dreaming, and even raised his large, thick paws, trying to touch the spot where he had been kissed.
Unexpectedly, when it looked up, it met Telingewei's dark gaze.
Nibote jolted awake, instantly dispelling the feeling of dreaming. He quickly tucked his rear end in, hid his tail, and turned to dash into the yard!
Meow! The Black Dragon is so fierce!

See you tomorrow!
Chapter 215 [VIP]
By the time Telingewei squeezed out of the study, Xie Juanhan was already standing in the courtyard, looking up at the starry sky.
The fluffy creatures that had squeezed out before Telingewei surrounded Xie Juanhan, forming a tight, impenetrable circle.
Telingewei looked down.
The oblivious furry creatures showed no intention of giving him his place.
Nibote met Telingewei's gaze and nuzzled him with his large head.
Telingewei reached out and pushed aside Nibote's large head, just enough to make room for him.
Xie Juanhan turned to look at Telingewei, his eyes brighter than the stars in the sky. "Look over there!"
Telingewei looked in the direction he was pointing. "Those bright stars?"
Xie Juanhan nodded. "In my hometown, we can also see that constellation, the one that looks like a trapezoid."
Telingewei examined it carefully and indeed spotted a bright trapezoidal constellation.
Xie Juanhan said, "When I was looking at the stars just now, I felt that constellation looked familiar, but unfortunately, the angle from which I see that constellation here is different from the angle from my hometown, so it took me a long time to realize it."
Telingewei understood. "Drawn stars are easier to identify than real stars."
"Yes, I just remembered."
Xie Juanhan looked at the stars overhead and said with great emotion, "So, our location is just a different place in the universe."
Spacetime rifts might also be naturally formed wormholes or something similar.
However, people are not aware of this, and there are no relevant research reports.
Xie Juanhan looked for a while longer and said, "That constellation in the far right corner, I can see it from my hometown too."
The furry creatures couldn't understand anything, but they still craned their necks to look in the direction Xie Juanhan pointed.
Xie Juanhan was looking at the stars, while Telingewei was looking at his profile. "Do you have stargazing courses in your hometown?"
"Yes," Xie Juanhan said with a nostalgic smile. "Back then, we could see the stars just by looking up; stargazing was an integral part of every aspect of our lives."
From "The Southern Dipper and the Northern Dipper, the Oxherd does not bear the yoke" to "The Jade Balance points to early winter, the stars are so numerous and bright."
Xie Juanhan can still recite many poems related to the starry sky.
It's a pity he didn't study hard enough back then, otherwise he would have discovered long ago that there is a small overlap between the observable starry sky in this world and his hometown.
Xie Juanhan hoped to obtain more accurate coordinates, so he specifically wrote to the Elf priestess Yiluo and the archmage Mumedeli to inquire.
The little messenger birds, carrying letters, flew far and wide, from the center of the Magic Forest, delivering messages.
The distance from the Magic Forest varies from place to place, so letters arrive at different speeds.
After Xie Juanhan relayed the message back and forth several times, Yiluo and Mumedeli both raised the same question in their letters: It's too much trouble to keep relaying messages back and forth, why not meet up to discuss it?
"Wow." Xie Juanhan sat in the corridor and opened the letter.
"Chirp?" The furry creatures curiously gathered around to watch, but unfortunately, they couldn't understand a single word.
Xie Juanhan turned and called to Telingewei, "Telingewei, come here for a second."
Telingewei, who was tending to the Goblin, came out into the corridor upon hearing this. "What's wrong?"
Xie Juanhan held the letters high, displaying them before him: "Look at these two letters—"
Telingewei: "They have pretty good teamwork."
Xie Juanhan: "Not only that, they also share a surprisingly consistent view on certain issues."
Telingewei: "I think it's a good idea."
Xie Juanhan leaned back and peered through the crack in the door at the calendar hanging in the study. "So, around September 29th?"
The furry creatures couldn't really understand what they were talking about.
After they omitted a series of details, the furry creatures understood even less.
The impatient Haxi Xie Juanhan's wrist with his paw pad. "Chirp!"
Xie Juanhan waved the letter and said, "We're discussing inviting these knowledgeable creatures here for a face-to-face exchange."
Harper tilted her head. "Chirp?"
Xie Juanhan: "Yes, it's about inviting a large group of people over as guests, and preparing delicious food and questions in advance to entertain them."
Although Telingewei disliked the presence of powerful, unfamiliar creatures in the Magic Forest, the area had become increasingly lively in the past two years, so he didn't mind if it became even more bustling.
After the two dragons discussed their plan, they sent a letter to the nearby magical creatures, warning them that strange creatures would be coming, but not to worry, as the strange creatures would only stay in the Magic Forest for two days.
Upon receiving the letter, the Weaving Fairies rode over in groups on deer, excitedly shouting, "Lord White Dragon! Lord Giant Dragon!"
Luli, the little male fairy who was closest to Xie Juanhan and the others, asked, "Are we finally going to have a dance here?"
Xie Juanhan waved his hand. "It's not a dance party, it's a more academic conference."
Luli's eyes still sparkled. "Can you dance?"
Xie Juanhan and Telingewei looked at each other.
They hadn't really thought of that; in their plan, they mainly wanted to ask their friends to discuss astrological and coordinate issues.
At most, some food will be provided so that everyone can have some snacks, drink tea, and take a short rest.
They hadn't really considered organizing a dance party.
Xie Juanhan was about to say no, but then thought better of it and asked, "If you invite your friends over, won't it be boring if you don't dance?"
Luli: "Yeah, how would we pass the time if we didn't dance?"
Xie Juanhan thought about it and realized that he couldn't spend the whole day discussing things with people; he needed to relax a bit.
Seeing that his expression had softened, Luli immediately said, "We just wanted to say, if there's a dance, do you need our help? We can organize and set up the venue!"
